how funny was it listening to Louise stress out towards the end. Your car is 3 sec a lap faster and you'll be coming out on brand new tyres compared to the others on dead tyres. It was never going to matter where you came back out after the pitstop ffs.

Was also interesting to read Vettels comments about how he thought it was odd-risky for Homo to overtake him where he chose to rather then wait one more corner and a straight...Vettel said he had to kove over for him so to avoid risk of contact. Seems Homo just likes the drama

Would be shit for it to be decided at the last race because of the lame double points nonsense.

Also:

Ferrari have signalled approval in the past for the prospect of running a third car, and their position remains unchanged with a spokesman saying:

“It’s not about the survival of Formula 1, but for the show. With all due respect, people would prefer to see three more Red Bulls, Ferraris and Mercedes than the other cars.”

Well, I for one wouldn't. Would rather see the midfield get enough coin to be viable. Time for Ecclestone to sod off and sit in a retirement home somewhere.

The stupid thing is that 14 points between 1st and 2nd at the final race means that there is a very strong chance of whichever Merc driver wins there will win the championship. Imagine if you are Homo then going in with a 12 point advantage and way more GP wins then anyoen else this season and you dont win the WDC. Its pretty silly.

It is rather shocking the reliability issues the Mercs are having. They are worse than RBR, McLaren, Fezz, Williams, FI etc when it coems to mechanical retirements. Good thing they are so damn fast.

Pulling out a 25 second advantage on used tyres over about 10laps is pretty clear indication that they enjoy a huge pace advantage

Vettel should have done the team thing Singapore style and taken out Hamilton while he was going for the overtake.

Then, Dan would get the win and with both Mercs out it would make the wdc more interesting ?

either that or everyone else was right... which the court process proved anyway, remember...

If they were really steaming pieces of shiza at the start of the season, RBR would have been able to prove that in court. Instead the full decision of the appeals court says:

As evidence of the reliability of its fuel flow model, the Appellant provided a series of graphs...Several graphs actually showed that parameters had changed from one lap to the other and that one cannot, therefore, conclude that the fuel flow model did not change notably... On top of this, it appears that not all parameters... were shown in the graphs

That was Red Bull's "proof" - doctored graphs and refusing to fully disclose the parameters used to esitmate fuel flow in their model!

The meters were fine.

LOL, meters were rubbish but other teams had the same problems, but they suffered in silence and went with the proper procedure. RBR picked a fight and didnt follow the correct process and got burnt.

RBR doing a hatchet job over the politics around the faulty meter doesnt mean the meters were not problematic. :) Says I :)

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
